    Why is it I'm never around to commence the beating?

    Re: Why is it I\'m never around to commence the beating? It just causes escallation... chances are he'll see your car again, but you won't see him (or her). Let it go... they're just another looser. :smirk:

    How fast have you been in your Viper

    135 mph in a 390hp, 1977 Trans Am, but that was 20 years ago... and it sucked the passenger T-Top off the car! I would have gone faster, if I hadn't lost the roof. Basically, the car really wasn't engineered for "high" speed. So I tried drag-racing for fun... after blowing apart three...

    Most Annoying Things About Owning a Viper

    It rained 4 INCHES here yesterday (Santa Rosa, CA). The CITY streets were flooding... I had to drive through 8"-10" deep water to get to the business (it's next to a small creek). Thank God I have a "backup" car (4WD, 6,500lb Suburban). Being the Viper can't clear a 2x4 the hard way, I'm...

    How many of you have lost control of your Viper ? ( On the street)

    Four times in the first month the back end came around on me... I never left the road, and never hit anything (all were <25mph) :crazy: . Zero times since - and it's been over two years now, knock on wood :D . Being over ten years since I had a car with over 400hp, it just took a month to...

    2001 RT10 1 in 100 chance of winning...

    In 2001 & 2002 I gave far more than the cost of a Viper, so I can see how it can happen (I did cash though, not "toys" - makes for an easier deduction, and easier on the recipient). ...I wish 2003 had been a good year too :( Anyhow, with all the people that try to "Auction" their cars...

    2001 RT10 1 in 100 chance of winning...

    Let me guess... they sell 100 tickets = $100,000. The owner of the car gets street value ($60k), and the Center gets to keep the $40k "profit" as a donation... In other words, everybody wins? :D

    Prices on Paxton S/C and Sean roe S/C

    Sean uses a screw-type compressor, vs. Paxton's fan-type (if I'm using the right terms). Basically the Paxton method heats the air more, hence the added need for an intercooler to match Sean's performance. Plus, you have to replace the front crossmember when doing a Paxton. IMHO, Sean is the...

    How many of you RT owners drive your car without the Spare ??

    I e-mailed Discovery Channel's MythBusters... Who knows? On the other hand, I could get my wife to drive our Suburban in to the back of the Viper at 45MPH or so, and see what happens to dispel any doubt... I'm insured :rolleyes: On the other hand, why scratch up my Suburban? I wonder...

    Hidden x-over [pic]

    Here is it WRAPPED and back on the car! (Hey, it's Winter... the underside stays dirty 'till spring) I must say, the (hidden) x-over makes a GREAT sound! The "project" took a bit longer than expected: Parts: $90 (Used Viper muffler from e-Bay, I wasn't going to attempt this on MY muffler!)...

    Hidden x-over [pic]

    This is what the inside of my "new" muffler looks like: When the skin is on, it looks like the standard muffer... Why? Just to keep the stock look and NOT have any California Emission "issues" (they question ANY modification).

    Les Schwab Just F----ed Up One of My HRE's!

    Re: Les Schwab Just F----ed Up One of My HRE\'s! I've used California Small Claims before. It's fairly simple and inexpensive... just takes time to file and one day in court. Sometimes enforcing a judgement can be difficult on an indigent individual, but usually not on a business. If you...

    New owner.... Where can I get a soft top ?

    F355, Best color choice! Viper Wizard and GoldMan, OK... Just 'cause I took the risk for adding space doesn't mean it's the right thing to do... The Spare Tire subject has apparently already been beat to death, and consensus seams to be it was engineered to be part of the passenger...

    New owner.... Where can I get a soft top ?

    Re: New owner (stupid question?)... Does a soft top fit in the trunk ? Yes. And if you are creative, you can still fit some soft luggage in there too (like two overnight bags). Some people even loose the spare and just bring a small tire repair kit.
